5.5 Storing food

WARNING

Danger of fire

Do not use electrical appliances inside the food storage

compartments of the appliance, unless they are of the

type recommended by the manufacturer.

Note

Do not store vegetables that do not support cold

temperatures (such as cucumbers, eggplant, tomatoes,

zucchini, and all cold-sensitive exotic fruits) in the

BioFresh compartment.

The fresher the product and the better the quality, the

longer it can be stored.

When shopping, make sure the food you purchase is

fresh.

To prevent spoilage due to the transfer of bacteria:

Store unpackaged animal products and plant-based

products in separate compartments. This also applies

for different types of meat.

If you must store food together to save space:

Keep the food packaged.

Each drawer can hold max. 55.12 lbs (25 kg).

Each plate can hold 77.16 lbs (35 kg).

(warmest). The default setting is b5. If you select a setting

between b1 and b4 the temperature may fall below

0 Umrechnung von ° C wurde noch nicht definiert! (0 ° C),

causing food to become slightly frozen.

To set a higher temperature: Press the Up adjustment

button

Fig. 2 (3)

until the temperature flashes in the

display. Release the button.

To set a lower temperature: Press the Down adjustment

button

Fig. 2 (4)

until the temperature flashes in the

briefly.

-or-

To change the temperature continuously: Hold the

button down.

The values b1 to b9 are displayed while the settings are

being changed.

The actual temperature is displayed about 5 seconds

after the last button has been pressed. The tempera-

ture slowly adjusts to the new value.

5.8 Adjusting humidity

The humidity in the appliance can be adjusted depending

on the food to be stored.

With the dry setting, a dry climate is created that is suit-

able for storing packaged foods (dairy products, meat,

fish, and sausage). The appliance consumes less energy

In this operating mode.

Operation

* Depending on model and options 7

With the hydro setting, a humid climate is created that is

suitable for storing loose-leaf lettuce, vegetables and fruit

with a high moisture content. When the drawers are full,

this creates a cool, fresh environment with an air humidity

of up to 90 %.

The humidity level in the compartment depends on the

moisture content of the food inside and on how often the

compartment is opened. The default setting is dry.

To set hydro: Press and hold

the dry/hydro button

(4)

until the

symbol is shown. Release

the button.

The dry/hydro symbol

food, each plate can hold up to max. 77.16 lbs (35 kg).

6 Maintenance

6.1 Thawing

6.1.1 Defrosting the refrigerator

WARNING

Risk of injury and damage

accelerate the defrosting process, other than those

recommended by the manufacturer.

Do not use any electrical heating or steam cleaning

equipment, naked flames or defrosting sprays for

defrosting.

Do not remove ice with sharp objects.

Do not damage the pipes of the refrigerant circuit.

The fridge compartment defrosts automatically. The

defrosted water will evaporate. Drops of water on the back

wall are a functional feature; this is completely normal.

Clean the drain opening regularly so that the condensa-

tion water can drain away. (see 6.2)

6.2 Cleaning the appliance

WARNING

Danger of electric shock.

Unplug refrigerator or disconnect power.

WARNING

Danger of fire

surfaces.

Do not use steam cleaners.

NOTICE

Incorrect cleaning damages the appliance.

Do not use concentrated cleaning agents.

Do not use steel wool or sponges that scour or scratch.

Do not use caustic or abrasive cleaning materials or

those containing sand, chloride, or acids.

Do not use chemical solvents.

Do not damage or remove the rating plate on the inside

of the appliance. It is vital for the customer service

department.

Do not pull off, kink or damage any cables or other

components.

Do not let cleaning water get into the drain gutter, the

ventilation grille and electrical parts.

Use soft cleaning cloths and a multi-purpose cleaning

agent with a neutral pH value.

Only use food-compatible cleaning and care agents

inside the appliance.

Empty the appliance.

Disconnect the power plug.

Clean the ventilation grilles regularly.

Clean the plastic surfaces, outside and inside, by

7 Troubleshooting.

Your appliance is designed and manufactured for reliable

operation and a long lifespan. If a malfunction nonethe-

less occurs during operation, please determine if the

malfunction is due to an operating error. If a service call

determines operator error, you will be charged for the

costs incurred, even during the warranty period. You may

be able to rectify the following problems yourself:

Problem Possible Cause Correction

The appliance

does not work.

The appliance is not switched on.

Switch on the appliance.

The power plug is not properly

inserted in the wall socket.

Check the power plug.

The fuse in the wall socket is not OK.

Check the fuse.

Power failure

Keep the appliance closed.

Protect the food: place dry ice on top of the food or

use an alternate freezer, if the power failure persists

for some time.

Do not re-freeze defrosted food.

The compressor

runs for a long

time.

When less refrigeration is required,

the speed-controlled compressor

switches to a low speed. Although

the running time is increased as a

result, energy is saved.

This is normal in energy-saving models.

An LED at the

lower rear of the

appliance (near

the compressor)

flashes regularly

every 5

seconds*.

There is a fault.

Contact the customer service department (see Main-

tenance).

Noises are too

loud.

The different speed levels of speed-

controlled* compressors can cause

them to generate various noises

during operation.

These noises are normal.

Troubleshooting.

10 * Depending on model and options

Problem Possible Cause Correction

A gurgling

sound

This sound comes from the refrig-

erant flowing in the refrigeration

circuit.

The sound is normal.

A faint clicking

sound

The sound always occurs when the

refrigeration unit (the motor) automat-

ically switches on or off.

The sound is normal.

A hum. It is
